Virginia Center for Reproductive Medicine

Living with Infertility? We are here to help.

Welcome to the Virginia Center for Reproductive Medicine (VCRM), a state of the art Fertility Center located in Reston, Virginia (a suburb of Washington, DC). VCRM was established in 2002 by Dr Fady I. Sharara, a board certified Reproductive Endocrinologist with over 20 years of experience in the field. We are the premier “boutique” Fertility clinic in the greater Washington, DC area, with the highest success rates in the area for the past 7 years. We are looking forward to help you achieve your dreams in the most dignified, personal, professional, and caring atmosphere. Our patient care philosophy stems from the fact that each couple should receive the best scientific and humane care possible in a welcoming and warm atmosphere. We do not strive to be the biggest fertility clinic in the area, on the contrary, we believe smaller is actually better. Our unique IVF, Donor Egg, and gestational surrogacy shared risk plans cover up to 4 cycles to have a baby, or we refund you 100% of your money back . We are also the only program that incorporates a holistic approach to fertility treatment by using acupuncture and nutritional support to enhance our success rates, and we are the only program in the DC area with exclusive blastocyst transfers for all our patients since March 2013. VCRM is the Fertility Center that many patients turn to after failing at larger clinics. Indeed, over 30% of our patients are failures at other programs. We have extensive experience with women suffering from diminished ovarian reserve and have published on the use of DHEA (we recently completed a 3 year study on the effects of DHEA in poor responders). Our PGS program utilizing comprehensive chromosome screening (CSS) to check for genetic anomalies has provided many couples with significant improvements in their chances at parenthood, and is becoming standard of care in women > 35. Our patients come from all over the world to pursue their dreams of becoming parents.

OUR RESULTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES:

VCRM is pleased to announce that, for the 9th straight year, we again have the highest pregnancy and take home baby rates in the greater DC area for IVF and donor egg, in the 2013 National results for ART published 3/3/15 on the Society of Assisted Reproduction (SART) website at www.sart.org despite the fact that at least 30% of our ART patients have failed at other programs (for program comparisons please check www.sart.org, please review the disclaimer attached), despite the fact that > 50% in the < 35 and 35-37 age groups had elective single embryo transfers. You can view our success rates at: ART-Results . We are leaders in trying to decrease the multiple pregnancy rates by increasing elective single embryo transfers (eSET). In 2013, over 50% of women < 38 had eSET, and it is our practice to encourage eSET in all our donor egg cycles and frozen cycles.

Dr Sharara’s philosophy regarding health and diet is summarized in The Infertility DietTM, which is now available in the App Store. This diet is not just for infertile couples but it is for anyone interested in healthy eating (and weight loss). We welcome your feedback

Despite Significant Incentives Many Couples Still Aim for Twins: read Dr Sharara’s recently presented study results at the ASRM/IFFS meeting in Boston and published on November 7 in the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) Headline News and OBGYN News at:

We have just finished a study on elective single embryo transfer (eSET) in women < 38 years old needing IVF. The success rate as of November 15, 2014, is 58 % (“ongoing/delivered” pregnancy rate). Dr Sharara presented 2 oral abstracts at the ASRM meeting in Hawaii in October 2014 regarding this innovative study.

Dr Sharara was nominated as one of the Washington area Top Doctors in Infertility by the Washingtonian magazine for 2014, a continuous yearly honor since 2005; and by Northern Virginia Magazine in February 2015, again a continuous yearly honor since its debut in 2010.
